More test drives...
Again, more auto related news.
Test drove the Honda CR-V yesterday. While not as bad as anticipated, still, I don't think it makes for a real contender, except that it's cargo area (passenger fold up) was pretty awesome, and explains the additional cargo room. Handling was nice, but even really leaning on the gas, the pickup was pretty subpar. "0 to 60...eventually."
Also, the last of the test drives, the Toyota RAV-4 was done. I'm trying to be clinical...but I love this vehicle. I do. I like the way it looks, I like driving it. I think if I say anything more, I'd probably start raving. The one quote: "I actually ENJOY sitting in this car".
So we're down to two contenders, the Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4. I have to say, on purely superficial external appearances, I like the RAV4 more. Interior...the RAV4 is more comfortable, but the Ford's control layout is better, and feels more spacious. The Ford's back seat folds completely flat, but the Toyota has a mechanism that takes the seats down with an auto release (it's awesome).
So we're...pondering. None of the numerical facts are sufficiently different to provide a definitive answer.
